effects, distributive impacts, and 
equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804. 
V. Executive Order 13771 
This rule is not expected to be subject 
to E.O. 13771, because this rule is not 
a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866. 
VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act 
DoD does not expect this proposed 
rule to have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small 
entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., based on a review of historical data concerning the purchasing system, business system program. However, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis has been performed and is summarized as follows: 
DoD is proposing to amend the 
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to establish a DoD contractor purchasing system review (CPSR) dollar threshold. 
The objective of this rule is to create 
a new DFARS section at 244.302 to establish a CPSR dollar threshold of $50 million. The threshold will be used in conjunction with other surveillance criteria cited at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 44.302(a), to include contractor past performance and the volume, complexity, and dollar value of subcontracts. The proposed rule establishes a DoD dollar threshold of $50 million for a formal CPSR; in effect, raising the current surveillance threshold of $25 million cited at FAR 44.302(a) for DoD contractors. 
In 2014, there were there were 667 
unique entities for which administrative contracting officers (ACO) had recorded approved CPSR decisions in the Contract Business Analysis Repository. A 20% reduction in the number of CPSRs is expected to result from increasing the CPSR threshold from $25 million to $50 million for a total reduction of approximately 133 firms no longer meeting the criteria for a CPSR review. Contractor purchasing systems are eligible for a comprehensive follow- on review every three years. Based on this three-year review cycle, approximately 45 fewer contractors would be reviewed each year (133 firms/3-year cycle = 44.3, rounded to 45 fewer reviews conducted each year). Of the 45 entities, it is estimated that 35 of these contractors are large businesses and 10 are small entities. 
The $50 million dollar threshold 
should reduce the compliance burden for approximately 133 contractors, and permit a more prudent and efficient use of resources, prioritizing surveillance to the larger firms. 
For the approximately 133 contractors 
affected by this rule, there could be additional requirements for those firms to request consent to contract from the ACO, pursuant to FAR clause 52.244–2, Subcontracts. It is estimated that the annual number of consent to contract requests are approximately 12 per contractor. 
The rule does not duplicate, overlap, 
or conflict with any other Federal rules. There are no significant alternatives to the proposed rule that accomplish the stated objectives. 
DoD will also consider comments 
from small entities concerning the existing regulations in subparts affected by this rule in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested parties must submit such comments separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 (DFARS Case 2017–D038), in correspondence. 
VII. Paperwork Reduction Act 
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35) applies. The rule 
contains information collection requirements cleared by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 9000–0149, entitled ‘‘Subcontract Consent and Contractor’s Purchasing System Review.’’ The current clearance for OMB control number 9000–0149 already accounts for the reduction in burden associated with raising the DoD threshold for conducting CPSRs.
